Pci/agp Lock

Can anyone tell me if there is a way of establishing whether the KN8 NEO 2 PLATINUM WIFI has a fully funtional AGP/PCI LOCK.
Custom PC says it does not others insist it does. I believed that Nvidia had long since cracked this issue on Nforce 3 250 Ultra boards
what should the multiplier be set at for an FX53 on the board.
How can I overclock my Ram, I purchased it because of it's ability to run much faster and retain tight timings. I cannot see how to increase it's speed, does this depend on processor or FSB setting.
Can anyone explain what I need to do to achieve a reasonable overclock,  bios settings etc...
Thanx...

please feel free to ignore or delete, have re posted to Nvidia.
Soooooo Sorry.......

  • KT880 DELTA & PCI/AGP Lock ?

    I read some article about KT880 DELTA and there was written, it has PCI/AGP lock .. is it right ? If yes, which setting in BIOS is it ?
    thx for any answer

    I have heard this board will have that feature, but I cannot confirm it. If it does have the PCI/AGP lock, it would be the first VIA chipset to include this feature.
    I would think it could be found in the "Frequency and Voltage" section of BIOS.

  • 875p, I CANT LOCK my PCI / AGP Frequency using FAST,TURBO, or ULTRA

    i have an 875p neo. i am one setting away from loving this mainboard(finally). i have a 2.8ghz running at 3.0 (with a 1:1 FSB/RAM). i can run stable in TURBO MODE, with "timings by SPD". i am using 1.7 bios (1.8 gives me lower performance). i tried all the bios from 1.4 and up. my problem is I CANT LOCK MY AGP/PCI frequency. no matter what, it boots up in windows as 70/35, but only when using FAST,TURBO,or ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODE. my agp/pci frequency locks fine at 66/33(67/34) if i run in SLOW MODE, but any other performance mode setting overclocks the AGP PCI frequency to 70/35. this causes my ATI 9700np to freeze almost instantly while playing any game. luckily my ATI card has unlocked bios or the problem would be worst. i have been using CLOCKGEN to throw the settings back to 66/33 when windows loads, and i get no freezes. BUT I WANT A PERMANENT FIX MSI. not a CLOCKGEN patch. my question to you all out there:
    IS THERE A particular BIOS THAT I CAN USE THAT will LOCK THE PCI/AGP FReQUENCY while using FAST,TURBO, and ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODES? or another way to lock the setting in the bios?any suggestions? thanks
    EDIT 2:
    i just remembered, i forgot to tell you all. my agp/pci lock works fine if i run my ram in 333mhz mode. i have 400mhz ram. i was a running 1:1 ratio. agp/pci doesnt lock only if i use "auto" or "400mhz" settings. it run fine when i have my ram set to run at 333mhz. are you runnig at 400mhz or 333mhz? if 333mhz i can see why i left you guys confused...sorry.

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MY FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    WELL I GUESS WE HAVE TO USE THE GHETTO FIX FOR NOW:
    (i am assumming this is an ATI CARD only PROBLEM)
    download clockgen and install it. check your AGP/PCI frequency. if it reads  70/35 then you have a problem, which will cause your ATI card to freeze up during a period of use.
    unlock your cards bios(if it's not already unlocked). this will allow room for the 70/35 AGP/PCI frequency overclock. get info from rage3d.com forum on how to unlock your  ATI card.
    make your clockgen settings startup when windows boot, @***ghz, 66/33 agp/pci(read the clockgen instructions on how to run clockgen on boot)
    download radclocker and install it.
    set the AGP core/mem clock speeds to what you desire. then bump down the core TWO NOTCHES, then the memory down TWO NOTCHES then click "use current" bios button. 70/35 boot overclock pushes your ATI core/memory up two notches, so by setting radclocker 2 notches , radclocker takes the 70/35overclock two nothes lower. you have your desired speed. then clockgen throws your agp/pci frequency back to 66/33....which makes everything work right. it all boots in the right order for me.
    explaination:
    when windows starts it boots your agp/pci frequency@ 70/35. you need to be at 66/33 AGP/pci frequency for your ati card to run correct and not lock up after intense gameplay. radclocker underclock your card.clockgen puts your agp/pci to 66/33 AGP/PCI frequency.

  • Locked PCI/AGP

    I have the K7N2-Delta L. Is the PCI/AGP bus speed locked automatically or do I have to change settings for these items in bios?  I oc'd fsb to 200Mhz w/333Mhz ram runs good but Ghost Recon has graphic noise bars and blips in sound when I run it.  I have faster memory on way soon (400Mhz) and video card is slightly oc'd by 25Mhz on Core and Memory.  I guess my memory is causing these problems right? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated gonna knock back oc'ing till I get faster memory, just wanted to experiment.

    Yea, It's the RAM. I just ran Memtest86+ and got errors on test 5.   I've RMA'd a 512 MB stick back to Kingston, expecting replacement next week. I must say I really get a buzz with this oc'ing.  I believe with 400Mhz ram I could run steady with my 2500+ Barton CPU set at 200Mhz FSBx2 no problem maybe even a little more. I might even be able to increase the multiplier a bit more to tweak out a little more speed from cpu. It'd be great to bet 12.5x 200 at 2500Mhz.        I believe I got a good cpu for oc'ing can take the heat (oh yea, I'm replacing Tt Silent Boost fan with 92MM H/S fan at I believe 81 CFM's @ 3600 RPM's( instead of 27.5 CFM's @ ~2500  RPM's).  Noise doesn't bother me, I'm deaf in one ear anyways. I just want to push my system to edge of envelope (so to speak).   Actually I'm cheap, I want a 3200+ at 2500+ prices.  

  • Agp/pci clock locking help please

    i have the 865pe neo, using patriot memory with winbond 5ns chip, have no problem running at 250mhz in corecenter, however when i try to o/c in bios, when with the agp/pci clock locked, i can still it increasing up to 80mhz/xxxmhz as i increase the front bus speed of the cpu, anyone having the same problem with this board? will new bios fix this? by the way , i can't manually change the agp/pci clock , it's grayed out and "locked" this ths only option available under "apg/pci clock" there's no manual setting, soeone please help i can bring this board back to get the 875p if thats  needed
    thanks fo ryou help

    Hi tgn,
    MSI have this feature locked to prevent us from o/c the CPU multipiler settings. Can't say that whether this is good or bad for o/clockers like us. Unlike Abit which unlocks everything, MSI keep settings to what the mobo detects the CPU model is, i.e, if you're running a P4 2.4, then your Multipiler settings will be 18x with 133 FSB x 4 to make 2400+- MHz, try calculating the mathematics way and you'll know how far you can o/c to.
    Corecenter o/cing is another way MSI sets as it will directly show you the speed your CPU is running at vs the multipiler settings.
    All the Best... :D!!!

  • OK What About The PCI Buss Lock at 33?

    I read over at Anantech in the review of the k7n2-L that the PCI bus is not locked.
    From Anandtech:
    We still haven't been able to get confirmation from MSI as to whether the K7N2-L locks the PCI bus at 33MHz. There is an AGP lock at 66MHz for this board (as with all nForce2 boards). We'll immediately update you with more information as we receive it from MSI. 12/04/02 UPDATE: MSI sends word that the K7N2-L indeed does not have a PCI bus lock at 33MHz, meaning you will overclock your PCI bus to a certain level at a certain overclocked FSB speed.
    Now I have read here in a couple of threads that the PCI buss is lock at 33.
     So who is right???

    its locked guy at amd forums the wise one measured his on a pc gieger 33.4 regardless of fsb

  • AGP locks at 67? you sure it doesnt at 66 as well?

    I can overclock fine using AGP lock of 66, when I set it to 67, no difference. People say it isn't locked when set to 66 but i used clockgen to check it out and it still says 66 despite running the fsb at 240 1:1
    So, I dont understand, maybe there isnt a problem with the locks at all?

    I dunno if it's because clockgen doesn't work properly on my board, but if I raise the CPU clock the PCI and AGP doesn't tag along according to clockgen. But they sure as hell are, no doubt about it and they should since my chipset doesn't have any lock.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU PCI/AGP divider

    Hey,
    I'm using the overclocking features on the board, but i can't find the PCI/AGP adjustment in the BIOS, any body know what i can do??
    I'm using the latest BIOS which is 5.6
    Cheers

    Ah, now thats what i've been told but according to Sisoft Sandra my AGP is 86Mhz and PCI is 43Mhz so itdon't look like its kicked in.
    Any advice, do i have a dodgy board?

  • Video display driver for Trident Cyber9525DVD PCI/AGP (W98.23)

    I am having problems finding a suitable (generic) driver for my video card. I'm installing Solaris 8 for Intel on an Acer Travelmate 330T laptop with a Trident Cyber9525DVD PCI/AGP (W98.23) display adapter. The installation was successful but it just couldn't get into the CDE. Could anybody help me? Thanks.

    Hi:
    See if this driver works.  If it doesn't, you will need to install a 64 bit operating system if you want to run windows 7.
    I know this driver works for the Celeron N processors, but I don't know if it will work with the Pentium N processors.
    Download, unzip and run the setup.exe file.

  • PCI/AGP Divider

    Hi,
    I need a confirmation, is the PCI/AGP divider always 3 no matter what the fsb is? Or is it 4 over 133fsb?
    Or is it related to memory divider (and how)?
    It is for 645 Ultra version 1 MS-6547.
    Many thanks.

    Check in the BIOS if you can change it, considering the mobo you have I think you can't change it (I can't with my 850 MS-6545) and thus it will stay at 1/3.
    A moderator at this forum told me it will automaticly change when the FSB reaches 133MHz, though. Pity, I'm not able to test that because my PSU can't supply enough power (probably not enough Amperes on the +12V line) to raise the Vcore to 1.7V. That's why my processor refuses to even POST at 120*20=2.4GHz. Because of that the PCI/AGP are running way to high (pci almost 40MHz) which caused my HD to corrupt some windows files and even lose a (empty) partition.
    So, check whether you can change it manually, or try to make the big leap at once. Just be sure to up the Vcore enough, or you won't even POST

  • PCI/AGP Clocks?

    Ok,I don't quite understand the way to tell how the PCI/AGP clocks can be monitored or obtained.
    Here is my set up:AMD Barton 333FSB set to 172x13=2238MHz.I run 1 gig of Hyper-X(just purchased)PC-3200 at PC2700 speeds(333 due to the 333 CPU).The RAM runs at 1:1 at 172MHz with timings 2.0/3/3/7
    I can not run FSB at 200 and can not clock beyond 175MHz FSB without getting ATI error.I assume that the AGP clock is going too high.Can someone tell me how to caculate the correct FSB and Multiplier to get a safe AGP clock?

    Hi,
    I read somewhere, not quite certain where, that the KT6 has a agp/pci divider that changes over at about 190 fsb.  I had no problems running my board up to 200fsb and the agp bus runs at 67 mhz.
    I just tried to to set FSB to 200 with a multi of 9 to be safe.No post.I had to clear CMOS.How in the world are you getting that 1800 to use 200FSB?When I first built this system,I was told by several users to set FSB to 200.I am still unable to get it to post at 200.I went as high as 185 but seemed to get unstable so I clocked it down.No dynamic over clock or spectrum on either 
    Can you please tell me what program you are using to monitor the PCI MHz?I just downloaded PC Wizard 2005 hoping it would tell me.It has alot of very good information but no PCI/AGP bus stats.

  • PCI/AGP Clock

    Anyone out there who knows some software which can measure the PCI/AGP clock on an AMD64 based board.
    Cheers!

    Nice, thanks.
    I checked that one out, but I saw no version for the K8T Master so I disregarded it. I'll try the ASUS one right away.
    Edit:
    Tried it out and played around with all the values I can find in the BIOS but no matter what I do or what I raise/lower the PCI and AGP clock stays at 33/66 MHz.
    Even the setting, Autodetect PCI clock, doesn't affect anything I can see.

  • New 3.46 k8t neo2 BIOS and agp lock

    does the agp lock work now?
    or with the 9betas. is it working?
    on k8t neo2
    thanks. i have 3.30 and it'S not working on my board :(

    well i guess the lock is working. i might just have a bad cpu.
    http://img68.echo.cx/img68/7518/agpfre8pe.jpg
    'Bad' would be a subjective statement in this case. If you do have an early batch Winchester, it overclocks less than the later batches. But it still gives you a lot more than you paid for.
    P.S.
    Following your link, I noticed your Vcore is a bit low at 200 MHz. When overclocking, you should raise it some to get above 225 MHz and be stable. At 230, something like 1.49v should do the trick. Also, what kind of power supply do you use?
     

  • Agp lock messed up all of sudden?

    after flashing the bios to 1.2b5 and hooking my s-ata drive to port 3 i was able to reach 10 x 234 stable with agp locked at 67..
    i turned my computer off for a few hours and now all of a sudden i cant overclock at all anymore.. my monitor just doesn't turn on when i power up.. when i clear the cmos it will...
    the only thing i can run is 10 x 200 agp66
    at 10 x 200 agp67 it wont turn on
    at 10 x 201+ agp66 it wont turn on
    at 10 x 201+ agp67 it wont turn on
    this is really weird and annoying!

    i think it is better to send this question to MSI support team directly.
    and goodluck

  • OC still corrupting even with AGP lock?

    You can see my setup and my bios settings here: http://members.cox.net/live4ever/newcomp
    I have one seagate serial ata driver (no raids or anything) and every once and awhile windows will start telling me random files are corrupt.. Some times it will boot.. Sometimes I will have to restart a couple times... Sometimes I will have to run the repair program... Sometimes it makes me check the disk for errors... Sometimes it boots just fine without any errors... What could be wrong here?
    I think when I get my new power supply I will format again but this time move the sata to port 3 instead of 1 and set the agp lock t0 68 instead of 67.. think that would help at all?
